"They're just Nazis, okay?!?!"
You're my favorite poster here. Thanks for the laughs.
Lol what are you even sperging out about in this thread?
Literally pulling a "Everything I don't like is Nazism." Lmao
Unfathomably based reading list.
Just finished James Burnham's The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom (must read for anyone interested in politics). Now reading Livy's Early History of Rome (must read for anyone interested in Rome).
When the average of ALL black people is 85,
Just say "the average of black people (in the US) is 85." The "average of all black people" means something quite different.
the average for adopted children are lower because once again the average adopted child comes from higher risk environments than the average.
I'm asking what that number is, not relying on assumptions. You're claiming they are making big jumps in IQ merely through changes in environment. Show me what those jumps are, as we observing rather modest increases otherwise.
North Korea does not have an average IQ of 98, that is an estimated number not an actual accounting because much like China, NK only self reports and in most cases iq estimates are made by regions so NK is given a higher average because they are bordered by China and South Korea.
It is the estimate we have based on the evidence available. It's possible it is off, but that is conjecture, and the number presented is highly consistent with the Flynn effect. Not sure what you're arguing about in the rest of that paragraph so I'll skip responding to it.
The autism rates in NK compared to SK alone squash that metric as it is one that NK can’t lie about.
So you dispute IQ averages of North Korea, but readily accept the numbers associated with autism? Which I don't see the relevance of anyway.
Variance is higher than predictability in all of these cases. The average of 5 points difference is a huge factor when looking at genetically identical twins or genetically similar siblings.
Variance and predictability are not at all incongruous with each other. The predictability of genetics as it relates to intelligence is so strong on average that, if you had similarity consistent predictability in sports betting, you would quickly amass a fortune.
I can already see where this conversation is headed. The evidence has been presented for those looking to come to an understanding on this topic.
He’s essentially claiming that genetics are the end all be all of IQ,
He makes no such claim in this video. Around 1:30 he says "IQ...is partly genetic in nature." I've never seen or read him make such claims elsewhere either. As I said in my other post, genetics is a very strong predictor of IQ, no more no less.
The variance in environment can raise iq by at least 10 points and in some cases 15-20.
I'm not familiar with any evidence of general population IQ jumps that large between the same genetic groups in different environments. The difference in American blacks IQ and sub-Saharan blacks is accounted for by the rather large European genetic admixture that blacks Americans have (that sub-Saharan blacks lack) combined with moderate increases that the Flynn Effect can cause in more industrialized nations, in other words blacks living in the US.
considering that the majority of black orphans are genetically fucked because mom was a drug addict/ alcoholic/ etc during pregnancy
Do you have some evidence to support this?
them being able to achieve an average iq of 89 from an average far lower than 85 does indeed show that IQ is more environmentally malleable
What average that is "far lower than 85" are you referring to?
The Asian IQ myth is another one that is almost entirely environmental, that’s why the Asian iq variance is hilariously dependent on what culture they come from despite having near identical dna (north versus South Korea for example)
IQ is environmentally malleable to the extant that it can be pushed to its phenotypic limit by access to more resources and education, but only to a very certain degree. Your example actually support this phenomenon, known as the "Flynn Effect."
At around 98, the North Korean IQ is very good by international standards, and is only 4 points below its much wealthier neighbor to the south, 102. This is also, not coincidentally, the same difference in average IQ of US blacks (85) to blacks raised by white parents (89).
There are instances where genetics highly determine iq
There are not just instances, this is the general trend. Intelligence is so strongly correlated with genetics as to be highly predictable.

there are instances where brain trauma from an injury actually spike the persons iq by 30 points.
Not familiar with this phenomenon, but rare, unpredictable freak accidents are not relevant to understanding different population groups intelligence levels. Important decisions around education, economics, government policy, etc can be based on the latter, not the former.
Interesting. Never seen a non-Jewish person run interference so aggressively for Jews before. Also you can be Jewish and anti-theist at the same time so that seems irrelevant to me. But whatever you say.
Wonder how he got an AK, which are highly regulated in all of Europe
Firearms are regulated in every country to some degree. Rifles in Europe are not these seldom seen unicorns that some Americans seem to think they are.

Are you Jewish by chance?
That, and the fact that their approach to media is based heavily on irony means its difficult to take suddenly take a genuine stand on something.
I once read something along the lines that politics is helping your friends and hurting your enemies. The OP makes perfect sense in that light.
I knew a black guy whose first name was Fulloflove. Is that better or worse than the gibberish names?
